By Ella Rayment-Ward|

Anna Nicole Smith's teen daughter Dannielynn Birkhead underwent an incredible overnight style transformation at the Kentucky Derby.

When Dannielynn attended a pre derby gala with her father Larry Birkhead the night before race day, the 17-year-old still had her usual long blonde locks.

But by the next morning the teen, who recently graduated high school, had surprised onlookers with a bold new look.

"On the way to @kentuckyderby with Dannielynn after a great night at the Barnstable-Brown Gala and quick morning haircut or two," her father wrote to Instagram.

The night before the Derby, the teen wore a black dress and her long hair for the last time to kick off the race weekend festivities at the gala.

In the new stunning photos from race day, Dannielynn showed off her much shorter hairstyle that sat just above her shoulders with some face framing strands at the front.

The teen styled her hair for the day with a pink floral fascinator on one side of her head and a matching pink lip to complete her natural makeup.

The blonde looked glamorous for her trackside appearance in a gorgeous warm pink and red hued belted gown with short ruffle sleeves.

The dress appeared to be the Floral Print Ruffle-Sleeved Taffeta Gown by designer Badgley Mischka which originally retailed for $‌1,900.

"Dannielynn's dress was inspired by her favorite character Hino Eiji, Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDor combo -she made me write that 😆 -because that character had the same shoulders as the design of the dress she found ! 🤷‍♂️" her father continued his caption.

Larry later shared some more pics of his daughter's new haircut to Instagram from their flight leaving Kentucky.

Dannielynn is the daughter of the late American actress and model Anna Nicole Smith who died in 2007.

For the teen's 17th birthday in September 2023, Birkhead posted a sweet message to Instagram declaring: "Your Mom would be so proud of you, I sure am."
